Eurosatory 2026: Airbus Defence and Space and Comand AI partner to deliver next generation AI-native tactical superiority to allied forces

Paris, 18 June 2026, Eurosatory

Airbus Defence and Space and Comand AI today announce a strategic partnership to spearhead the widening of European sovereign AI-native command and control (C2) capabilities to allied armed forces, including NATO.

Modern operational theatres demand decision cycles measured in seconds. As the volume of available information continues to grow, the decisive factor is no longer access to data, but the ability to convert that data into operational decisions faster than the adversary.

This partnership combines Airbus Defence and Space scale, expertise, and experience of designing and delivering mission-critical integrated AI powered defence products to allied forces, with Comand AI’s ability to build software designed for the age of autonomous systems, AI, and complementary algorithmic decision-making. Together, the two companies will deliver the next generation of AI-native command and control capabilities.

As part of this partnership, Airbus will integrate Comand AI’s Prevail platform into its command and control ecosystem. The resulting offering will enable military headquarters to integrate and transform growing volumes of battlefield data into actionable decisions, accelerate manoeuvre planning, and maintain situational awareness under severe time and resource constraints, when every second counts.

“We are at a decisive moment for the European Defence Industry. Building partnerships for European C5ISR solutions is key to independent, NATO interoperable, defence. At Airbus Defence and Space, we are proud to spearhead these fully interoperable systems together with specialised partners, to help our customers protect their people,” says Frédéric Julhes, Director Defence Digital France and Export, Airbus Defence and Space.

"Our decade marks the beginning of a new era for military operations. By integrating our tactical AI into Airbus's world-class systems, we are setting a new operational standard - giving armed forces the decisive advantage to act faster than the adversary," said Loïc Mougeolle, CEO and co-founder of Comand AI.
